Steps

1. Your class is receiving a grant of $6,000. You have been asked to evaluate and recommend a tablet device to purchase from Samsung, Apple, Amazon.

2. Open, Copy and Save this Tablet Product Specifications Chart. The chart includes a blank column for a device your school might already be using or is considering for purchase.

3. Discuss the importance of the different features of each device in a small group or as a class and identify pros and cons.

Memory, storage, resolution & screensize, processor, price.

Consider whether other features are important for your class work:

cameras, the ability to attach a monitor or projector to it, keyboard or touchscreen, USB port for external devices...

4. Calculate how many of each device can be purchased with the grant funds.

5. Select one device (or the one your school is already using or considering) and make a recommendation to the rest of the class with at least three reasons why you selected it. Document this on your copy of the Tablet product chart in the table provided at the bottom of it.
